You're right. Julia played the victim too much. If you're the elected leader of a country, even if you are the victim, you take the higher stance.

Being offended by Abbott, while a normal response, isn't something she should have mentioned. It makes the argument personal, and derails any possible logical argument.

Agreed. It's worth noting she wasn't elected Prime Minister, I mean not by the people. She got to that position via a leadership challenge, party politics.
